Session Summary

Critical Community-Based Research in Environmental Education

Fri, April 17, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Collectively, the papers in this symposium draw on EE research as well as scholarship in critical food studies, critical food systems education, ecojustice, and environmental justice to explore community-based environmental and food justice initiatives. This session specifically addresses this year’s conference theme, as well as the EE SIG’s call to explore “the power and possibilities of EE research for ecological, environmental, and social justice,” by featuring collaborative research projects that aim to explicitly center the public good. Participants will also discuss the barriers, limitations, and tensions associated with doing community-based and collaborative work.
